As an 87 year old "Recliner Babe"... I enjoy all the Van couples, their great photography talents and adventures. Through YOUR camera lenses and expertise, I am transported .....starting with setting up camp (my love and I traveled and camped in a cab over camper on a 1970 ...3/4 ton Chevy truck.....with only the basics. Thanks to you and the ability you have to tell it like it is....and just when to let nature do the talking....I can hear the voice of the river.....see the sunsets, etc. I dont know how you do it....but I swear I can even smell the flora and fauna. Our travel days are over, now. You have my gratitude for letting us come with you. You are the very best at what you do.
In the morning I head into work for another 12.5 hr shift as a Respiratory Therapist in a very busy hospital. Tonight this lovely video brought me some peace....... Thanks so much!
Look, I am 70 years old and I have seen a lot of stuff. And you sir are one of the best at what you do... I wish you only the best. Godspeed my friend..
Oh you have brought back some darn good memories with my wife and her parents.. All are gone now and I only have the fond memories. we practically raised our kids boating and camping on the snake down there. we had many fish fries and drank a few beers on hot days. I told my wife when she was alive that we mus have done something right with our kids taking them fishing and camping as they are good young men and women now. in fact they take their kids doing the same thing we did with them. I do miss my wife and the fun we had but I am glad I had the opportunity to have that time with her
Thank you for reminding us that there will be life after the coronavirus. No matter how much humans want to believe in their superiority, nature is the ultimate force, and it's ever changing march forward will continue. Seeing you almost dwarfed by nature makes the point that we are just a small part of something bigger and learning to see it and enjoy it is gift.
Yes if anything good comes from this virus, I hope that we all learn to appreciate life and nature more and what we were created for. Humans have a connection to nature and I feel we got lost along the way. Praying for all of us and hope this terrible situation can make us come together more. 💙🌎🌌🌅🌄 The earth is so precious and I believe may be the only planet like it out there. We are so very lucky. 🌍🌍🌍
Wow! What a beautiful part of the country. I am already 70 yrs old and not in very good health. But I did some camping in my younger years. When I did it, it was so relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately I didn't do it enough. Your are privileged and blessed to have good health and able to do what you do. Thank you for showing us your adventures enjoying them so much. Take care and happy camping. 🚣🐦🦅🦃🛶🏕️🏔️🏞️
Dear Slim, I was expecting a great video, but you have shown us A FABULOUS one. What beautiful area and you, as usual, have captured it so wonderfully. Sad that they didn't do anything to allow the salmon farther upstream. Maybe, someday, it will be rectified. Thank you for taking us all along with you as you reveal anew the wonders of our one Earth. Stay safe and take care. From the land of the mosquito, Florida.
So glad you published this video. Though I enjoy your trailer modding how-tos, the nature and exploring stuff is what I love best. Your videography is masterful. You have such a wonderful eye for composition and detail. One could literally grab any frame from this video and have a print suitable for framing! Absolutely one of your top videos. Thank you for doing what you do.
I grew up on the Snake River. My side of the river was in Wyoming. I'm from Jackson and each one of your videos makes me home sick, even when you're in Mexico. I think it's just the freedom I see you have. I lived in a teepee in the 70s and miss nature.
Good job on the filming and sounds Of Idaho snake river I was raised on the Boise River were it dumps into the Snake River. Great place to be raised in 1970s for a young boy. I am living now on the back side of Siltcoos Lake on the Oregon coast . I am 66 and plan living the rest of my days here. The only place that is more beautiful than this place is HEAVEN and I'm so looking forward to that move. GOD has blessed Me!!!
Sitting here "social distancing" and watching the snow pile up at my door! This video makes me want to grab the fly rod, load up the RV and hit the road. It doesn't make much sense why public lands are closed right now. Seems safer than staying among crowds in the city. Thanks for the great video and the warning about poison ivy....just what I don't need right now! Cheers!
Always reminded me of parts of the Interior of British Columbia. Your videography is a cut above as usual. This was the best thing I've seen this unemployed socially distanced day. Thank you so very much!
Beautifully filmed and edited, Mr Potatohead! I felt as if I was watching a PBS special and could feel my stress level diminish with the sights and sounds of nature. Thanks for sharing this at a time when we are all cooped up. It provided a much-needed momentary escape.
I agree. What a beautiful location. the boughs in the orchard and water in the background made me recall the illustrations in story books from when I was a child. To see Abner coming into the scene at 00:45 and again at 12:37 gave me a warm comfortable feeling like bumping into an old friend. I going to miss him. He's been so trusty and reliable to you and furnished us viewers with so many adventures. Thanks to the both of you.
As good as it gets. Both a physical and mental oasis. I only have one wish that some of the heroic hospital staff, nurses and doctors find just a few minutes out of their day to watch and maybe escape from what they are having to go through in so many places all over the world. Thanks Slim for bringing this to all of us.
Absolutely stunning video. You’ve captured Mother Nature at her absolute finest. Gave me the chills watching this (in a good way). A much needed break from the devastating disaster our world is facing at this time. Slim, you are the best! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
How cool to pick an apple in the wild. I really loved this video for the beautiful stream and the peaceful music. And you never fail to educate your viewers in the most eloquent way, even if it is correcting them about the correct term for a "gaggle of turkeys", tehe. Thanks for sharing your videos, I love them!
Wonderful video Slim! Anybody can start a RUclips channel & Run a video camera to make videos, But you my friend are a true photographer, and a true documentary maker. Your skills with the camera(s).... (even though they may be used or old) come thru in each & every vlog you post. Keep up the good work, My wife & I enjoy every episode!
You always find the most beautiful places to camp and to point your camera. Any stress I may have been feeling before watching your videos just drains away. Thank you.
Slim my main man. As usual my friend awesome vids. You truly captured the beauty of fall. So glad youre uploading vids on a weekly basis again you my friend are a visionary. Thanks alot if noone else says it i want you to know i appreciate it. Cant wait til the new trailor is ready you should call it eggner
I had to say I watched all of your video, it brought back so many wonderful memories, I've camped in some of the spots you filmed BUT I am disappointed you didn't go up the Klien-schmidt grade. what a climb, You can see the snake river canyon for miles and miles. Only problem is you have to give the Ore truck passage a priority
When I first started watching your videos I enjoyed the simple ideas and mods you shared with us. As I got more into the video's I quickly realized how 'connected' you are to nature. You seem as if you are one with nature and all its many wonders. As plans to get a travel rig draws closer I feel I'll be ready. Just want to thank you for sharing what you enjoy, very inspiring indeed..
Hi Slim I think this is my favorite video. You had a beautiful camp site…beautiful scenery!! I love watching this video. I hope you will continue to share your adventures with all of us.
Oh my goodness! Look at those beautiful colors 😍! Some of the most beautiful fall pictures I've seen! Well done! This is a beautiful video, thank you 😊. Happy and safe travels.
Glad to have been following your channel for so long. You've really turned into one my favorites, with your very Sunday-evening-PBS-nature-show approach to sharing your travels and set-up. Wishing you continued success!
You out-did yourself on this one. Perfect & peaceful for a respite from today’s turmoil. This peace will be waiting for us once Corona gets defeated. Thank you for your goodness and excellence.
Hello. Camo Dave turned me onto your channel and I must say your entire content & videos just blow me away. I mean it's really like WOW totally professional in ALL regards. PBS or a station should put your videos on a big network and let you keep doing what your doing on your own. Like I said, I'm just captivated & blown away by your videos. Just superb quality on everything you do. Your voice and the way you talk reminds me of PBS host David Yetman of the show "The Desert Speaks". Anybody ever told you that? Keep the great content coming. I'm really glad Camo Dave referred to you as being the best Nomad out there with the best content because he is 100% correct on that. Cheers!
Thank you for another enjoyable and thoroughly relaxing video. I just love watching your videos, they are so therapeutic, and a wonderful virtual escape
Wow! The scenery and the sounds of nature in this video were so relaxing! I love your channel and enjoy sharing your travels. God bless you and safe travels!
My wife and I spent 6 weeks RVing at a church near there, spending time in Joseph, OR during October into November. We drove down through the Hells Canyon area in our pickup. Beautiful country! You captured well some of its natural beauty.
Nicely done. I don't know how you ever found that place. I've been through the area a few times but never up that way. You are a true explorer! Thanks.
Great video, I can see that you truly appreciate the beauty of all that nature offers. I have been watching your videos for several months now and enjoy your travels and your camping experiences. Can't wait to see how the new camper works out for you.
Another vid featuring the Aliner...Yippppeeee! Paradise is probably what the apple farmers thought too of that beautiful area. I can't be near that kind of water without casting a fly into it. I've stumbled across a few apple orchards along the South Fork of the Boise River similar to the ones you found on the Snake. Thanks for (presumably) this last video featuring Abner Aliner.
Awesome video and one of my favorite places in the world. I live in Weiser Id. which is only about a hour and half from the Reservoirs. We visit them at least 5 or 6 times a year. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I see you doing one of these types of videos, it reminds me of my childhood with the whole family sitting in front of the TV and watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Great memories from a much simpler time of life. Thank you!

Presently in Idaho and I am surprised by the diversity of beauty in this state. It has pretty much anything that anyone could want. Thanks, Slim.

Yes...and I'm not far "up the road" from you...in south GA...land of the GNATS and mosquitoes! It is hot and humid here.
In the midst of the s**tstorm we're going through, this is a timely reminder that there are good things out there. Thank you!

Mark Hosbach Mark, thanks for saying everything I wanted to say only u said it better. Slim you are so talented!!
Thanks Mark! I think I did take a few stills, perhaps I'll post them on my webpage if anyone's interested. SP
I. Must concur, Slim is without doubt the best of the best!
I couldn't say it better!

You're right, nature speaks for itself.
Mr. Potatohead, that video was an admirable example of art over ego. I'm guessing I'll watch it many more times. A masterpiece.
Good job on the filming and sounds Of Idaho snake river I was raised on the Boise River were it dumps into the Snake River. Great place to be raised in 1970s for a young boy.

Top shelf work as always Slim. That moonrise shot over the ridge was spectacular!

Just what I needed Slim. Very nicely done, and such a relaxing break from the craziness. Thank you sir!
Beautifully filmed and edited, Mr Potatohead! I felt as if I was watching a PBS special and could feel my stress level diminish with the sights and sounds of nature. Thanks for sharing this at a time when we are all cooped up. It provided a much-needed momentary escape.
:) LOVE THAT YOU'RE STILL DOING THIS FOR US!!!
I am an Idahoan..and live in the Snake River Valley. You give me New appreciation!
Watching camping videos into a weekend, suddenly makes me giddy to grab my camping gear and head out for the weekend for some camping fun.
You could be a National Geographic film maker! Excellent. Thanks for showing a dreamy camping area.
I agree. What a beautiful location. the boughs in the orchard and water in the background made me recall the illustrations in story books from when I was a child.

Slim, that was a dam good video. I loved the photography as usual and the sounds. What an amazing place to camp. Cheers!!!
OMG your photography is stunning!
As good as it gets. Both a physical and mental oasis.

Stunningly beautiful part of the northwest. Your cinematography and editing are wonderful as is your commentary. Thank you.
Since I can't travel right now, I'm enjoying traveling with you through your videos. I appreciate your love of nature's beauty. Great videography
Absolutely stunning video. You’ve captured Mother Nature at her absolute finest. Gave me the chills watching this (in a good way). A much needed break from the devastating disaster our world is facing at this time. Slim, you are the best! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Just pure bliss, thank you💕💕💕
Beautiful! Just what I needed. Thank you so much.
Absolutely stunning camera work my friend. I truly needed this today. Black Point Bluff is now on my list... wow
Thanks Slim! Your videos are always entertaining and relaxing.
Your best video yet, keep them coming!
Thank you Slim. This was a flash from my past. I grew up in Southeast Idaho and around the Snake.
How cool to pick an apple in the wild. I really loved this video for the beautiful stream and the peaceful music. And you never fail to educate your viewers in the most eloquent way, even if it is correcting them about the correct term for a "gaggle of turkeys", tehe. Thanks for sharing your videos, I love them!

I rafted down the Snake below the Dam. Trip of a lifetime! So beautiful! Life can be really great if you just stop and smell the roses. Great Job!
Simply beautiful! Nature is our greatest gift and you captured it perfectly. Thanks Slim!
Free up to 18 days! Best damn boondocking secret. Thank you sir for the video. Looks absolutely amazing!
We camped here this summer. It was very nice and quiet. The blackberries were ripe at the time and we ate our fill. Thanks for the tip Slim.
Beautiful footage of the snake river and sceneries. 🌿👍
Absolutely spectacular! The colors are amazing, the whole thing is so relaxing and restorative. Thank you so much Slim!
You always find the most beautiful places to camp and to point your camera. Any stress I may have been feeling before watching your videos just drains away. Thank you.

Well Mr Potatohead, you’ve done it again! Just awesome! Thank you .
Paradise indeed. Fantastic video 👏
Great video. I love these ones with lots of scenery that let me live vicariously through your travels.
Comforting, poetic and a visual delight as always! Thank you and stay safe.

Omg!!!! What beautiful scenery!!! Wow!! I know you enjoyed this trip for sure!!! I did!!!
"I'll let the stream do the talking". Wise men say few words.
Paradise for sure. Thank you for taking us along.
Realy nice spot, calm, relaxing, yet full of everything.Thanks for taking us there. Stay healthy, BR.
Absolutely stunning, Slim. Thanks so much for the video. Lee 🇬🇧
This was absolutely stunning! Composition, perspective...just Wow! Thank you!
Great job Slim P. , what a great place and Vid , I do hope you picked that low hanging fruit ! It was for you all along...great travels friend !
Absolutely picturesque! Thank you, Slim!
Thanks Slim, it was nice to get out of the house with you.
Nicely done. I don't know how you ever found that place. I've been through the area a few times but never up that way. You are a true explorer! Thanks.
Man, that is a beautiful place ... great job, Slim!
Awesome video one of your best thank you for sharing
Great video, I can see that you truly appreciate the beauty of all that nature offers. I have been watching your videos for several months now and enjoy your travels and your camping experiences. Can't wait to see how the new camper works out for you.
You should have your own Netflix Series because these videos are amazing and timeless!
So glad you posted this. Great to see Abner, too. Thanks
Yep, another one of those "must see" places. Thanks.
Thanks for the fathers day gift of your video slim
Another vid featuring the Aliner...Yippppeeee! Paradise is probably what the apple farmers thought too of that beautiful area. I can't be near that kind of water without casting a fly into it.

great video. You are a master at finding spectacular out-of-the-way places like this that are free!
Greatly enjoyed the video amidst current turmoil. Thank you!
